The "War To End All Wars" turned out to be the "War That Started All Wars" giving us Communism in Russia and leading to Fascism in Italy and Nazi Germany.

A weekend to remember but I hope a weekend to remember what war brings.

If WW I had not happened the world would have been so much better a place, but alas it did and we live with its consequences today.

I watch this ceremony every year on YouTube. Always moving. They occasionally sing the great patriotic hymn I Vow to thee My Country.

It should be on YouTube in a couple of days. I highly recommend it.
